DOING JUSTICE: The Life and Trials of Arthur Kinoy explores civil rights lawyer Arthur Kinoy's landmark cases which began with the Rosenbergs and continued through Watergate. An attorney and progressive civil rights leader who became a professor of law at the  Rutgers School of Law--Newark, Kinoy was one of the founders of the Center for Constitutional Rights and successfully argued before the Supreme Court of the United State. In 1968, Kinoy was removed from a House Committee on Un-American Activities and  subsequently convicted of disorderly conduct. The U.S. Court of Appeals overturned the conviction. In 1972, the Supreme Court upheld Kinoy's contention that President Richard M. Nixon had no 'inherent power' to wiretap domestic political organizations. Kinoy was also one of the founders of the Women's Rights Law Reporter.
